15 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 1 INT this year. That's 21 big plays in 13 games. Over 1.5 per game. The idea that he doesn't make plays is silly.
Yes most of those big plays were around the LoS. They tell us nothing about whether he can be a FS. No one is saying he doesn't make plays at the LoS. We are saying he has not proven in college he can play center field as a FS.
Also why are we ignoring last year where he had 0 turnovers? Again he is a great SS/LB prospect. He is not a great FS prospect. Speed is not the only requirement for playing Centerfield as a FS. And it is silly to take a guy that plays well at the LoS and turn him into a FS.
If I'm drafting Peppers, it's to primarily be an in the box SS or a WLB in a 4-3. To me he's an Adrian Wilson type at SS or a Thomas Davis/Briggs type at LB. Davis in particular started out as a S before becoming a LB.
